4 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon granules

This really is the best broccoli cheese soup (ever!) I made with fresh broccoli because it was what I had on hand and it turned out beautifully.
Really easy to make and delicious

Absolutely amazing! I was looking for a wonderful broccoli cheese soup recipe that would cure my craving, but it's really hard to find one that doesn't use Velveeta. I only changed one thing when I made the recipe - I halved the boullion because I was unable to find low-sodium boullion when I went shopping. It still came out wonderfully and is very flavorful! I will be making it again...and again...and again!

Hell yeah! I'm a complete amateur when it comes to cooking, but I had a midnight craving for some broccoli cheese soup and this recipe looked pretty simple.. And came out fantastic! I normally don't subject people to my cooking, but I'm keeping this batch to myself for my own selfish reasons..
